P26/V3022/NM - Non Material Amendment Refused

Proposal

Non-material amendment to planning permission , for the following: 1. Adjustment of Additional Consulting Room Numbers: The previously approved 8 no. additional consultation rooms have been revised to 6 no. rooms. This enables each room to meet the minimum 16m² ICB and Department of Health HBN standards while retaining the same approved extension footprint. 2. Fenestration and Elevational Refinements: The overall fenestration pattern is slightly amended to facilitate the double couch access. Blanking panels to the glazing have been removed and replaced with soldier coursing brickwork to simplify construction and ensure consistency with the existing building fabric. 3. Adjustment to Roof Design: Rooflights to the new consultation rooms have been removed. This change is required to accommodate the finalised HVAC routing, including mechanical supply and extract ductwork, which must comply with HTM ventilation standards for primary care settings. Single-storey ground floor expansion at the rear of the health centre to accommodate 8 additional consultation rooms for general practice examinations. Data via plota.co.uk
